Discover Jupiter Dog Beach and Bark Park in Boca Raton, two pet-friendly beaches dedicated to your furry friends!
Want to give your pup a chance to run (or swim) off-leash? With 47 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline, The Palm Beaches are sure to have a couple spots along the beach dedicated to furry friends. In fact, there are two popular beach cities where you and your dog can frolic in the sea.
Jupiter Dog Beach is a 2.5-mile stretch between dune crossover marker #26 (north of Ocean Cay Park) and dune marker #57 (south of Carlin Park). Best of all, parking is free. As always, please pick up after your pet (free bags are located at marker #29).

For another great option, visit Bark Beach in Boca Raton’s Spanish River Park, located between lifeguard towers 18 and 20. While it’s only open during the weekend, the beach is very popular—and affordable, at $15/dog for a weekend pass. Please note that to park in a Boca Raton beach lot, you’ll need a beach permit.

Beach Rules
Be sure to check the tides daily as currents are strong. Low tide is the best time for you and your pup to go for a dip in the ocean. Always remember to clean up after your pooch. Even though dogs can be off the leash at these beaches, always keep an eye on them for their safety as well as other the dogs and owners. Never let a dog swim alone!
